Re: Game-Ready Vampiress Character — Geisha & Insect Hybrid (Finished)
I began by blocking out the entire model, focusing on accurate anatomy and correct proportions. The organic 'bug' elements and soft meshes were sculpted in ZBrush, while the remaining components were created using both Maya and ZBrush. For pore detailing, I used Texture XYZ scans with ZWrap. The rest of the model’s surface… -
Re: Future of texturing and 3d modeling in gaming industry
I consider myself quite experienced in this aspect :) so for once I can share some of my knowledge on PC rather then just learning. I have used many types of scanners, from laser 3d scanners, to video scanners and phometric image scanning, and established a pipeline for my studio when these are in use. Scanning will never… -
Re: LOW-POLY ART
There is a DISCARD shader instruction to just drop the current fragment/texel/pixel if need be, so it never has to be written to begin with! Transparency is a type of blend. In order to do any type of blending, you have to read and write to a pixel's location in video memory, instead of just writing The instructions for… -
Re: [UE4] Physically Based 3D Art: 2016
I'll give my 2c on this topic and try to stay constructive. The first thing I noticed on most of your objects was material definition was lacking. Even stylized stuff looks like the materials they're made of. One of the biggest ones that i see in yours was your wood material. Squiggly lines on a brown background doesn't… -
Re: Maya Pelting tools plugin - Help needed
The cleanup function doesnt take care of double edges, for me at least. If you find thats true for yourself heres a script I threw together few days ago. It saves your selection so it can be used at any time during the modeling process, though is a little finicky with edge selections sense it changes their order when… -
Re: [3DS Max] Issues with exporting
Sorry have long missing. This helped me a lot and solved my problem, thanks! Exporting as FBX don't deforming object and much faster (especially for hi-poly). Object is very small, like bolt on automobile disks est. size 0.5x0.5x0.5 cm while biggest object on scene about 50x150x100 cm. That's really inetesting things you… -
Re: Texturing, where do you start?
With a color. ;) You might have triggered someone to make that for you, or they might see this as being a small issue. You know the names well enough, you just now associate them with there material slots. Once you got that you can then start to get an understanding of each one and why they are needed and what their limits… -
Re: 3Ds Max 2012 sneak peek
So... I ran some more tests with modifiers and all that yummy stuff. This is a little written tutorial of what I did and what happened. I can assure you that it was faster in 2009 :) (at least 3x faster), but I bet 2012 is much better than 2010 and 2011. By the way this is a very cool technique, might come in handy :) .*… -
Re: How many material IDs can you have?
omg i accidentally just pressed 'report' instead of reply... sorry if you get some weird message from a mod. here's what i intended to reply to your post with: Right. At work I would never have that many materials on a single object, but in this case it was just for a single high rez portfolio shot and i wanted to get it… -
Tesla Coil Gun
model This project was an assignment for school, to create a portable object using a maximum of 3k tris and 1k textures. I chose to make a modified version of an object featured on SmarterEveryDay; a tesla coil gun. Since this was my first time doing a similar object, I knew it would be difficult for me to make such a…
